President Wilson is again in office for a four-year term he is your president and my president, whether we voted for him or not, the chosen of a majority of the people, and his hands must he upheld liy all the people. At the outset of his new term, in the midst of an inter national crisis, he has heen betrayed by a small coterie of senators who, through the .stupid machinery of senate laws, have been enabled to block the course of legislation and place the country in a false'light before the world by refus ing to uphold him in his defense of American rights. The president begins his second term, carrying the heaviest load of responsibility that any president of the United States lias ever carried, .with Washington and Lincoln. During the president's first term, his internal policy has been one of constructive progrcssivism, an honest and determined eltort to apply real has not hesitated to smash precedent and to make use of the full power of his office to porate Jus program into laws. To free the business activities of the nation from the sinister domination of a powerfullv .entrenched group of uauKing anu nuiusiriai capitalists, to tne end that tliere be a more equitable distribution of the tremendous wealth production, without destroying or handicapping business organization ami ellort, Jias purpose. J n the midst ol the president s first term the European war, which has since assumed such terrific proportions, be gan. As the conflagration spread, first, threatening to in volve and finally actually involving the vital interests of this country, more and more of the president's time, thought, and effort have had to be centered, upon the inter national situation. Circumstances beyond control seem to be forcing the United States into the frightful cataclysm of the world war, the greatest, tragedy in the history of the human race. With patience, almost superhuman, against the. pres sure of forties so great, that few men could have withstood it, President Wilson has kept his pledge to the nation to avow war at any cost save that honor. Finally when Germany forced him to make the fateful decision between a dishonorable peace and the defense of American rights and lives, even at the cost of war, the president showed that his patience was not cowardice. The promptness and firmness with which he met the ruthless German challenge and his refusal to retreat one inch from his position are the best, proofs we could have or wish to have of the superb quality of the Americanism of the man wc have chosen to lead us during the next four years. . Whatever our destiny, the wisdom, patience and cour age during the past four years, of tho man who has again taken the oath as president, speak louder than words as to the fundamental principles which Mill inspire his leadership. LANE MISREPRESENTS OREGON TF the recall applies to United States senators, Harry Lane should be recalled for his action in preventing the president from being given powers to protect American rights ami for his unpatriotic expressions for peace at the price ol surrender ol. all American rights at Germany s dic tation. The Oregon constitution reads: Kvorv public officer In Oregon is subject, as herein nroviilerl. toTcrall liy tho legal voters of tho state or of elected. llowoer, as a United States senator is not a public officer in Oregon, but a federal officer who administers the federal government, and as the senate is made the exclus ive judge of the election and qualification of its members, and their term is fixed by the federal constitution, it is probable that the recall does All ol which is unfortunate, lor Senator Lane never has represented Oregon. Erratic and eccentric, he has been regarded as a lightweight and a good deal of a joke at Washington, but when he acts as he has in the national crisis, advocating a national at any price save that of actual arinet invasion, and cham pioning the cause of the nation's enemies, he becomes a sorry joke, indeed. Senator I jane does not think the United States has any neutral rights on the seas, says we should "preserve our neuirainy iv leiitng i iiem tight it out, and that it "is not gootl sense lor us to intrude in fry, he asserts, can "get along dling in her affairs- ami by unrestrictedly quest.
